UNICEF Day 2023:Every year on December 11, the world comes together to commemorate UNICEF Day—a day dedicated to recognizing the vital importance of safeguarding the rights and welfare of children worldwide.

UNICEF's unwavering commitment to ensuring children’s well-being is a testament to the collective effort required to build a brighter future for generations to come.
